Translated to Arabic from Turkish, 'Fetih ve Kiyamet 1453: Istanbul'un Fethi ve Kiyamet Senaryolari' by historian Dr. Feridun M. Emecen. This excellent work looks at Istanbul, a city of great importance to the East and West, its unexpected conquest by the Turkish Ottomans, the resulting reaction of the Muslim world and the doors it opened to the Ottoman Empire. (Conquest and Resurrection 1453)
